This tenugui features Doraemon the robotic cat, who made his comics debut in 1969 and is one of the most well known and loved manga characters inside and outside Japan. He has come from the future to befriend a young boy. This is an officially licensed Doraemon product made in Japan. This design features Doraemon sitting on a bench covered with a red cloth looking through traditional koushi wooden latticework at the cherry blossoms. Such benches are common sites where people gather and are often provided by small shops that sell tea and sweets. Tenugui are traditional Japanese cotton cloths. They were originally used as hand towels and head bands, but are used today mainly as room accents. Tenugui like this one are best as decorations. Tenugui are not really towels in the modern western sense. The fabric isn't looped, it is flat. This makes tenugui quite different from terry cloth. So please note the unique qualities of a tenugui before purchase. Tenugui cotton is a plain, flat weave with a plain texture, somewhat similar to the sort of fabric used for bandanas. Tenugui are also distinct in that unlike western style bandanas and other fabrics, the ends are left unfinished, with threads left loose. Because the ends are not sewn, the horizontal threads(the woof) may fray a bit as it's used. If you wash your tenugui hand washing is recommended. The raw ends of tenugui will gradually tighten after being washed a few times. The loose ends of a tenugui and the thin, flat cotton are a part of its rich cultural heritage, but they might not suit your needs if you have a western style fabric in mind. So please consider this before purchase.
